ALL IN with Rick Jordan

What’s shakin’? Today, I’m going all in on one of the most real lessons I’ve had in a long time. I was speaking at a high-level entrepreneur dinner — $2,500-a-seat type of crowd — and got asked a powerful question: What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in the past seven days? My answer surprised everyone, including myself. I said, “Sometimes, optimism doesn’t cut ...

Skip and Julie Whis drove seven hours to be in the studio. That tells you something right there about the kind of people they are. These two are chiropractors. Married chiropractors. Running a successful practice together. Teaching their kids about legacy. Doing it all differently than everyone else in their field. Here's the truth about chiropractors. Most of them a...

How many times have you heard someone say "I take full accountability" or "That's on me"? They seem sincere. They really do. But then what happens? Nothing changes. Same behavior. Same mistakes. Same bullshit. That's because accountability isn't about what you say. It's about what you do after you say it. We've got this accountability canvas in the office. Do it. Own...

What’s shaking? I’m Rick Jordan, and today we’re going ALL IN with someone who’s truly redefining what it means to chase the American Dream. My guest, Shayra Melo, is a Colombian-American powerhouse in the world of AI and blockchain—and she’s here fresh off the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, where she just helped ring the bell as her company, Vocodia, went publ...

Most people get networking completely wrong. Dead wrong. They show up at events looking for business. Looking for clients. Looking for what they can get. That's why they fail. That's why their network stays small. That's why they stay stuck. I built my publicly traded cybersecurity company from being one person 14 years ago to almost 100 employees. You know how? Thro...

Brian Decker gets it. This dude actually gets what it means to be a serial entrepreneur. Not the fake kind you see plastered all over social media. The real kind. Brian spent 22 years building businesses the right way. Started as a CPA. Hated it. Jumped into mortgage lending right before the 2008 crash. Then doubled down when everyone else ran away. Built himself int...

We’ve all experienced it in some way. Maybe it’s something that happened once and hit you deep, or maybe it was a pattern that played out over time. Either way, trauma shapes how we see the world. But here’s the deal—it’s not supposed to define who we are forever. Somewhere along the line, “trauma” became a buzzword. It turned into something people wear like a badge ...

What’s shakin’? I went all in today with someone who truly understands the evolution of digital marketing — John Sampogna, co-founder and CEO of Wonder Sauce, a creative agency behind some of the most innovative brand stories out there. John’s worked with massive names like Samsung, Brookfield, and Subway, and been featured in outlets like CNBC, Yahoo, and Digiday — ...

This is the sequel to my episode on what makes a good man. That one was about character. This one is about the daily work. The things you earn. The things you can't buy. Three things every man needs to work on every single day. A fit body. A calm mind. A house full of love. None of these come easy. None of these stay without consistency. All of them are temporary wit...

Greg Wilson knows money. This dude spent years as a CPA and CFO helping other people build wealth and raise capital. Built a service business from scratch. Helped companies achieve multi-figure exits. Now he's taking everything he learned and applying it to his own real estate development projects. Greg breaks down the difference between debt and equity financing. Wh...

Jordan Peterson dropped something on Instagram that stopped me cold. "If you're not having to think about something big and stressful, then all you'll think about is something small and delusional." Hit me like a truck. Made me realize something about the difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck. Right now I'm thinking about building companies. Ta...

Arjun Dingra brought something special to this conversation. Two-time Taekwondo world champion. Twenty-five years in mortgage and real estate. Founder of the LFG Society. This man understands resilience at levels most people never reach. Arjun's story starts with getting bullied as a kid. His mom accidentally put him in Taekwondo instead of karate. That mistake chang...

What’s shakin’? In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful message inspired by one of my favorite artists, Ed Sheeran, and his song Save Myself. There’s a line in that track that stopped me in my tracks: Read more
